      One of those candidates is literally running on overturning democratic elections, giving even more money and free rein to private industry, and having his family in appointmented positions.

      The false equivalency stuff needs to end.

        verturning democratic elections, giving even more money and free rein to private industry, and having his family in appointmented positions.

        that’s not what far right means, and there is no false equivalency being made

          What is it to you? Increased authoritarianism and privatization are cornerstones of most popular definitions of right wing politics.

            biden is far right: he expanded the surveillance and arrest powers of the state, imposed harsher prison sentences, voted for every military action he had an opportunity to, voted for taarp, opposed bussing… everything about him is far right. i don’t want to defend any politician, so i’m not going to say trump did anything good (or, at least i won’t try to enumerate any good things he might have done), but for every far right policy you think he may have, biden has two skeletons in the closet.

              Going back to my main point, if you don’t like the things you just listed, you’re reeeeally not going to like the other guy’s policies. And a vote for West will make it easier for the other guy to win.

                a vote for biden makes it easier for biden to win, and i don’t want that to happen. i’m going to vote for the person i do want to win.
